This study examined patients with phaeochromocytoma
Abstract:
Thirty three patients with phaeochromocytomas had surgery in St. Vincent's Hospital between 1950 and 1997. 32 patients had hypertension, 32 had palpitations and 30 had excessive sweating. All patients had at least one of these cardinal symptoms. Diagnostic tests changed over this period. In the early cases the phentolamine test was used, later diagnosis was confirmed by measurement of more...

The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term outcomes of children who had been inpatients in a child psychiatry unit
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term outcomes of children who had been inpatients in a child psychiatry unit. Fifty children, who were consecutive admissions to a Dublin inpatient child psychiatry unit between November 1978 and July 1980, were followed up 16 years later. We obtained some direct information on 33 subjects; of these, 4 subjects had died and 11 subjects more...

The aim of this study was to compare the educational and employment experiences of teenage mothers and match peers from a similar social background
Abstract:
Teenage motherhood has been linked with poor health, poor educational attainment, poor employment prospects and socio-economic deprivation. Much of the evidence has come from large surveys and the nature of these inter-relationships remains unclear. A case-control study was designed to compare the educational and employment experiences of teenage mothers with those of an age matched more...

The aim of the study was to establish common, symptom-based case definition for gastroenteritis by comparing across four counteries
Abstract:
National studies determining the burden of gastroenteritis have defined gastroenteritis by its clinical picture, using symptoms to classify cases and non-cases. The use of different case definitions has complicated inter-country comparisons. We selected four case definitions from the literature, applied these to population data from Australia, Canada, Ireland, Malta and the United more...

This study aimed to identify an effective extraction procedure for three pulpal neuropeptides; substance P, neurokinin A and calcitonin gene-related peptide.
Abstract:
Measuring neuropeptides in biological tissues by radioimmunoassay requires efficient extraction that maintains their immunoreactivity. Many different methods for extraction have been described, but there is little information on optimal extraction methods for individual neuropeptides from human dental pulp tissue. The aim was therefore to identify an effective extraction procedure for more...

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that bone cells respond differently to 0.6 Pa fluid shear stress and 1,000 mu(epsilon) substrate strain stimulation because of qualitative and quantitative differences in cellular deformation
Abstract:
Bone undergoes continuous remodeling in response to mechanical loading. However, the underlying mechanisms by which bone cells respond to their changing mechanical environment, that is, strain in the load-bearing matrix or fluid flow through the canalicular network, are not well understood. It has been established in vitro that bone cells respond differently to substrate strain and more...

The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence, nature, and degree of accommodative dysfunction among children with different types and severities of cerebral palsy
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To determine the prevalence, nature, and degree of accommodative dysfunction among children with different types and severities of cerebral palsy (CP) in Northern Ireland. METHODS: Ninety subjects with CP (aged 4-15 years) were recruited through the Northern Ireland CP Register (NICPR). Modified Nott dynamic retinoscopy was used to measure lag and lead of accommodation at three more...

The aim of this study was to examine accommodative responses were assessed in a group of school-age children using Nott DR
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Nott dynamic retinoscopy (DR) is a technique that provides an objective, rapid assessment of accommodative function. Presently there are no data available regarding age norms of accommodative function for school-age children using Nott DR. METHODS: Accommodative responses were assessed in a group of 125 school-age children (4 to 15 years of age) using Nott DR. A range of more...

This article describes the difficulties frequently encountered in managing glycaemic control in the transition periods from childhood through adolescence to adulthood, with a description of four cases illustrating these points
Abstract:
The transition from childhood through adolescence to adulthood is a difficult stage, particularly for patients with type 1 diabetes. The yearning for autonomy and independence, as well as the hormonal changes around the time of puberty, can manifest in poor glycaemic control. The focus on diet and weight increases the prevalence of eating disorders, compounding the difficulties in more...

The aim of this study was to examine rates of acute gastroenteritis in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
Abstract:
Most people with acute gastroenteritis do not seek medical care and are therefore not captured by routine surveillance. For this reason, population-based studies are needed to measure the burden of illness. A study of acute gastroenteritis in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland surveyed 9,903 people by telephone over the 12-month period from December 2000 to November 2001. The more...

This study described the effect of early administration of analgesia for acute abdominal pain in the accident and emergency setting
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Recent trials suggest that the early administration of analgesia in patients with acute abdominal pain facilitates examination and does not delay diagnosis. We investigated current practice regarding analgesia for these patients. METHODS: All patients admitted via the accident and emergency department with abdominal pain were included. The main outcome measures evaluated more...

The article discusses adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Abstract:
While the aetiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is unknown, it is widely believed that the deformity can be controlled by mechanical forces applied by a corset and acting, via skin and soft tissues, to exert pressure on vertebral growth-plates (Hueter-Volkmann Law). The reported efficacy of bracing in reducing the incidence of small degrees of progression reinforces this concept. more...

The aim of the study was to examine the topographic, radiographic and clinical data, in girls with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, comparisons were made with theoretically perfect symmetry
Abstract:
In order to explore the concept that scoliosis is fundamentally a loss of left-right symmetry. surface topography was used to measure asymmetry in three dimensions at three levels on the back surface. Statistical analysis of prospectively collected topographic, radiographic and clinical data, in girls with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, was carried out and comparisons were made with more...

The aim of this study was to describe the natural history and prognosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis:
Abstract:
Retrospective review of the scoliosis database showed adolescent idiopathic scoliosis to be the most common but least significant variety of spinal deformity. Data from 112 girls diagnosed on repeat screening showed the importance of menarche as a date in the natural history. In the whole database, there were 514 aged at least 15 years at last review, 45 boys and 469 girls. Braces were more...

The aim of this study was to examine the age at death of people with an intellectual disability in Ireland.
Abstract:
This study examined the age at death of people with an intellectual disability in Ireland. Using data from the National Intellectual Disability Database, the average age at death of 1120 people who died between 1996 and 2001 was 45.68 years, with no difference in lifespan between men and women. A more severe level of intellectual disability predicted shorter lifespan. In general, those more...

BACKGROUND: Paediatric aphakic glaucoma presents months or years after cataract surgery in children and is a major long term complication. The results of surgical treatment are poor and many children require multiple and repeat procedures with poor visual outcomes. METHODS: 13 children (19 eyes) had Ahmed valve implantation surgery, nine of the children had previous procedures such as more...

Abstract:
Summary data are provided for the whole United Kingdom. There were 41,776 adult patients alive on renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the UK at the end of 2005, a prevalence for adults of 694 pmp. Addition of 748 children under the age of 18 on RRT gives a total prevalence of 706 pmp. The more detailed analysis includes data on 37,534 patients from 65 of the 70 units which returned more...
